For those of you making the transition from the Viira Outlook Suite to the new generation of Viira cloud-synced apps we have provided a migration tool make moving your data a synch.

First make sure to download and install version 5.5.3 or later of the Viira Outlook Add-In. (To check what version of the Viira Outlook Add-In you have installed you can either go to Control Panel->Programs or select “Send Feedback” from the menu).

Here is what you need to do:

Open the Viira Outlook Add-In

Click on the right-most button in the button bar (red arrow - see image below)

Select Import Viira Outlook Suite Data from the menu.

Click on the right-most button to show the More Options menu

This will open the Viira Outlook Suite data migration tool. Note that if you have a large number of Outlook tasks or Viira Outlook Suite tasks the import process can take more than a few seconds to import so please be patient and give the import tool the time it needs to complete.

The data migration tool to help you import your Viira Outlook Suite data to the Viira Outlook Add-In

You can perform this migration not just on the same PC on which you have installed the Viira Outlook Suite in the past. You can also perform the data migration on any another PC with MS Outlook installed and the Outlook tasks moved/migrated/synced from the original PC on which the Viira Outlook Suite was installed. This is because of the way the Viira Outlook Suite integrates deeply with the native tasks - if you move your native tasks over to another PC all the data will still be there to import.

Over the past few weeks since Viira Outlook Suite version 1.1 was released we ended up performing various housekeeping updates and bug fixes that are now collectively being bundled in this software update. There haven’t been major features introduced or affected in 1.1.03 as the scope of this update has largely been minor fixes, stability enhancements and UI touch-ups.

The quickest way to launch the Viira Outlook Plugin is by clicking on the green checkmark button that you will see in your Outlook toolbar after installing the Outlook plugin. This will launch the plugin in a separate window that you can then minimize or keep open at all times. Clicking on the green checkmark with a red ‘+’ sign will open the New Task form so you can quickly enter a new task. The quick launch and quick add buttons are available in any area of Outlook, including Mail, Calendar, Contacts and Notes.

Things work slightly different in Outlook 2010 where you will see the Viira Outlook Plugin quick launch and quick add buttons appear in the Add-Ins tab.

You can also start The Viira Outlook plugin embedded mode. In embedded mode, the Outlook plugin will stay embedded inside Outlook. To do this open the “Tasks” view in Outlook (Go->Tasks) then click on the area saying “Folder View” in the center-left of your screen (see image below). You will see an option for the Viira Outlook Suite below - click on it and the Outlook plugin will launch inside Outlook.
